Still Waiting For the Point

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2013)

I cannot comprehend why anyone liked this piece of dirge. There was little in the way of back story of the characters so I didn't give a jot about any of them, the special effects were abysmal, the acting gives wood a bad name, the plot was ridiculous, the science was berserk and in the end the film... ended. Nothing inspiring or insightful about this $100 million movie and I feel poorer for having sat through it.
It reminded me of the worst of 80s science fiction pieces where you have to suspend belief entirely to enjoy them. The fact is we're not in the 80s anymore and are tuned in to the speed of advances in technology and what is and is not possible.
One question I continually asked myself through this was why not use torpedoes, missiles, drones or chemical warfare? Also I asked myself WHY? JUST WHY?!
